About The Chair Fit Lab
Mission Statement
We match ergonomic office chairs to real bodies and real work. The Chair Fit Lab is a movement-first, measurement-driven guide that tests every chair for adjustability range, dynamic support, and long‑term ownership value—so you can pick with quantified confidence.
Our Brand Story
Most “best chair” lists start with brand hype and end with guesswork. We started with people. Across thousands of desk hours, we saw the same pattern: discomfort shows up when fit and movement don’t. So we built a lab approach around anthropometric fit ranges and task profiles, then validated in real home and hybrid offices.
Our Fit Maps translate standards and hands-on measurements into simple guidance for petite, tall, and higher‑weight users, plus small‑space suitability and clear budget tiers (including refurbished). Each recommendation includes a quick‑adjust checklist for day-one relief, accessory pairings for full‑setup alignment, and smart swap suggestions if your body or workflow changes. The result: fewer hotspots, steadier energy at day’s end, and a chair that earns its keep over years—not weeks.
What Makes Us Different
- Measurement-first: We record seat depth ranges, arm width/height/pivot, lumbar height/firmness, and recline tension/lock behavior—then verify coverage for 5th–95th percentile users.
- Movement-forward: We grade micro‑movement freedom, recline smoothness, and alignment retention during posture changes.
- Ownership value: We evaluate warranty strength, parts availability, noise and wobble control, resale/refurb options, and total cost of ownership.
Our Team
We’re a small, independent group combining lab rigor with everyday usability:
- Ergonomics Lead (CPE): Translates anthropometric standards into practical fit ranges and quick‑adjust checklists.
- Biomechanics Researcher: Studies dynamic support and micro‑movement, validating posture change without losing alignment.
- Industrial Designer: Assesses mechanisms, adjusters, and setup clarity—so your day‑one dial‑in is smooth.
- Facilities & Procurement Advisor: Focuses on durability, warranty, parts pipelines, and fleet fit for 5th–95th percentile teams.
- Test Panel: Petite to tall and higher‑weight users who pressure‑test chairs across climates, tasks, and desk setups.
Who We Serve
- Remote workers and home offices seeking all‑day comfort and energy.
- Hybrid teams standardizing on inclusive fit with low maintenance.
- Buyers who want transparent tradeoffs, quiet build quality, breathable materials, and a premium-yet-understated look.
We don’t sell chairs. We earn trust with clear measurements, transparent scoring, and guidance that respects your body, workstyle, and budget.
